    • VIOLET OAKLEY Portrait of Woodrow Wilson.
      Dec. 14, 2023

      VIOLET OAKLEY Portrait of Woodrow Wilson.

      Est: $1,800 - $2,200

      VIOLET OAKLEY Portrait of Woodrow Wilson. Portrait of Thomas Woodrow Wilson, 28th president of the United States, c. 1918. Charcoal/pastel on paper. 254x191 mm; 10x7 1/2 inches. Matted and framed to18x15 inches. Signed in lower right image. Oakley became a self-appointed American ambassador to the League of Nations from 1926 to 1929. She set up residence in Geneva, attending the 8th, 9th and 10th Assemblies of the League and drawing portraits of the delegates which she later published in Law Triumphant, a portfolio on the history of international law illustrated with her murals in the Supreme Court Room. It appears that Oakley created this portrait between November 1918, when at the end of WWI wilson was glorified as cosigner of the Versailles Treaty and founder of the League of Nations; and before October 1919 when he suffered a severe stroke that left him incapacitated.

      Oakley, Violet (1874-1961) Photograph of the Artist in her Studio, circa 1897.

      Est: $300 - $500

      Oakley, Violet (1874-1961) Photograph of the Artist in her Studio, circa 1897. Albumen photograph on a period mount inscribed in pencil on verso with the artist's name and her 1523 Chestnut Street Philadelphia studio address; the photo hinged onto a new archival mat and joined window, 5 x 7 in. Oakley and her sister Hester rented the studio on Chestnut Street in 1897, for their own use, along with the artists Elizabeth Shippen Green, and Jessie Wilcox Smith. The friends were all former students of Howard Pyle, who gave the group the moniker, the Red Rose Girls. The living arrangement of mutual support is described in detail in Alice Carter's book, The Red Rose Girls: An Uncommon Story of Art and Love. In this contemporary image, Oakley stands with her back to a mirror, holding a large palette, in the background we see a comfortable sofa decorated with patterned pillows, a mantle draped in fabric with sculptures and objets d'art, framed pictures on the walls, floral drapes, and a full coal scuttle. The group disbanded in 1911 when Green married. Okaley was a successful muralist and designer of stained glass who favored historical topics and Pre-Raphaelite, and Renaissance-revival style. Her illustrations appeared in The Century Magazine, Collier's, St. Nicholas, and Woman's Home Companion. Additional Images
